Anger In Canada Study Measures Canadians Frustration

Canadian research consultancy Pollara Strategic Insights has released an “Anger Index,” hoping to gauge the mood of Canadians each month. The tracker surveys thousands of respondents to gain insight into outlooks on hot topics such as inflation, government policy decisions and the economic outlook.

Of the 2,013 respondents polled between July 25 and August 2, 48 per cent said they were upset with Ottawa’s policy decisions and 83 per cent were angry with inflation rates. In addition, 79 percent of respondents said they were angry about rising gas prices and 55 percent were angry about the current state of the housing market. Dan Arnold, chief strategist at Pollara Strategic Insights, summed up the findings succinctly: “A lot of people just seem grumpy right now,” he told CTV News Channel on Monday. “I think coming out of this pandemic, we were hoping that this would be like a ‘D-Day’ moment, where there would be this euphoria, but instead there seems to be a lot of frustration that the last couple of years has kind of built up [which] now it’s bubbling to the surface in many different ways.” Arnold said economic pressure is at the “front line” of Canada’s frustration. “You have eight out of 10 people who are angry about inflation and gas prices,” he said. “I think this is something that touches everyone. Not everyone needs a passport or flies an airplane, but everyone buys [food] at the grocery store. And when you see the prices go up and you see that every week when you go to fill your shopping cart, it really resonates with people.” According to the report’s key findings, feelings of intense anger are still “confined to a vocal minority”. “I think it’s something we want to watch going forward to see how that changes over time,” Arnold said. He added that, “We want to see if this frustration becomes intense over time. And obviously we hope it won’t happen.”
